COnkling as a Lawyer


Roscoe Conkling is seen very little In
public these days. He occasionally dimes
with some of these rich Western fellows
and he is a great favorite with them, but
generally he leads very solitary life
that is, he lives with his books and his
law cases. He is credited with making
more money than any single lawyer in
New York. In many respects he has been
a disappointment to the bar here. Ihey
expected him to catch on to good prac-
tice but thought that his fame as law
yer was due to his power as politician
and an orator, and that he would fail ss
an adviser and in the handling of cases
against men whose whole lives had been
spent in law offices; but in all they were
mistaken. He has developed into a strong
man ia the Office and is said to prepare
his cases with great care aud sound legal
judgement which it was supposed he did
not POSSESSES. He is not talked OF any
more as politician, but only as law

Profitable Horse Breeding.


New York farmer writes as follows
The mistake that most farmers make in
horse-breeding is by mating inferior
mares with almost worthless sires. There
Is IN Ontario, in most localities, dearth
OF mares suitable for producing horses
mat Will sell at fair price when bred to
anything but first class sires in their re-
spechve classes; whereas, if these mares
were bred to good sized thoroughbred
horse they could produce colts that would
sell at good round figure as saddle
horses, roadsters. or if the largest of them
were bred to imported or Canadian pure
bred draft sizes they would command
almost equally renumeratiye prices as
dray or cart horses; whereas, by breeding
to inferior mongrel sIres the result is
kind of hybrid that is no earthly use for
anything. And this is done simply be-
cause the price of the service of the infer
ior sires comes cheaper than that of ths
thoroughbred or heavy draft. Ii costs
just as much to keep an inferior animal
which will only sell at $50 or $40 as a B.
year-old, as it does one from better sire
that can easily De disposed of at from
$50 to $3.50. This fact seems to be en-
tirely overlooked by the generality of
farmers, they seeming only to think of
the few dollars they save in the first in
stance in the fee of the sire"
